About the role
- Follow us on LinkedIn Accommodations If you need an accommodation to participate in the application or interview process please reach out to accommodations@zoox.com or your assigned recruiter.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and core of our test-orchestration platform - the distributed task scheduling, execution, and result-collection engine that runs tests across manufacturing and the fleet - and you'll personally build its most complex, reliability-critical components.
- Build clean APIs and frameworks that let other teams plug their own test suites into the platform without forking it, multiplying the team's reach across Manufacturing, Systems Integration, and Fleet operations.
- Partner across the company - with multiple teams to ship test tooling that production and validation campaigns depend on.
Requirements
- Strong production Python, including hands-on experience building distributed task/queue systems (e.g., Celery or equivalent) with a message broker and result backend (Redis / RabbitMQ) - task lifecycles, retries, cancellation, and worker reliability.
- Demonstrated ability to design and maintain test frameworks for large codebases ( deep pytest experience: fixtures, parametrization, scalable suites), and to design REST and library/framework APIs that other engineers build on.
- Solid software-engineering and distributed-systems fundamentals - systematic debugging across services, networking (HTTP, TCP/IP, container networking), CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and relational databases (PostgreSQL).
- Experience as a technical lead or architect - owning a system end to end, setting direction, and reviewing/mentoring other engineers' work.
